Preparation complete
Preparation of casts is complete I have sealed the casts with 3 layers of shellac mixture, making sure each layer was dry before adding the next. I always work outside and make sure I use all safety precautions. Our health and well being is the most important thing. Now the papering begins.

Inspiring adventures
The Bungle Bungles light was beautiful
This glorious work 'First Contact' in Elisabeth Quay in Perth was done by artist Laurel Nannup in 2015. This sculpture tells the story of the first sighting by Noongar people. The story passed down through her elders tells of how her people thought the ship was the spirit of the dead ancestors returning from the sea. The story in Laurels own words is inscribed in the paving around the work. Truly beautiful.
Shell beach in the Shark Bay region of WA. Shells replace beach sand 7-10 m deep and 60 klm amazing to walk on. Twice the salinity.

Killarney adventures
Daggs Falls
This was a gorgeous work by Nicole Jakins A Landscape Redefined 2023
On Friday we headed to Warwick for my husband to play cricket on the Saturday but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the heavy rain. We had never been to Killarney or Main Range National Park and were fortunate to be with friends to take us. The rain made Daggs falls and Queen Mary Falls truly spectacular. It is such a beautiful area to visit. On Saturday morning we visited the Warwick Gallery to see the Wildflowering by design exhibition curated by Dr Sue Davis and Dr Lisa Chandler. It was a wonderful exhibition and there were many inspiring works. The two above were my favourites.

Inspiration that inspires new sculpture
Towards the end of last year, I attended a breathwork session with Nicola Laye. www.nicolalaye.com. Instagram @nicola_laye. Nicola is an outstanding Women's Breathwork Coach. It was an amazing experience which I really benefited from and I really appreciated her kindness and compassion. I follow Nicola on Instagram and she always has important and inspiring words to empower women. This really resonates with me as my art practice is about giving voice to women and expressing our shared experiences. Nicola's wise words have inspired my next sculpture. Nicola's message
" Surround yourself with those who lift you higher not those who weigh you down"
"You rise by lifting others. Lets lift each other up."
Beautiful encouraging words to help me work by. Very excited about this new work.
